“We did this trek on my 40th birthday and what a way to start my next decade! It started with a 2am pick up in Ubud and we got to the bottom of the mountain around 330am. We were given tea, a head torch, and a stick (if you wanted it). There were also toilets available at this point (none at the top so go before you start!). The hike began around 4am and it was dark, dusty and steep in places but our wonderful guide stopped whenever needed and knew good places to perch and have a water stop. The closer to the top you get the tougher the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,850 reviews · 7 - 10 hours · from $24

Leave Bali in the early hours for a guided Mount Batur climb, usually with pickup between 1:30 and 3 a.m. Local guides such as Roman, Nova, Sar, and Luna lead the uphill walk, serve a light breakfast near the summit, and help you explore the crater. After the descent, soak in a natural hot spring and stop at a coffee plantation.

“The driver Andi was patient, attentive and helpful. The mount batur guide Sarr was funny, informative and inclusive. He also made us a very tasty breakfast of boiled eggs and banana sandwiches. We had a great group of 5 + the guide, and the views at sunrise and photo opps were breathtaking at times. The hot spring and coffee stops were not so good. Maybe because we were so tired from 2am pick up, they were a little much, and in retrospect the walk and driver would have been a great activity. Thank you to our driver, guide and the staff for a great morning.”

She helped me keep the spirits up, and celebrated with me once it was complete! Amazing guide, thank you for sharing Mt. Batur 🙏🏼✨️ Need better communication on not picking up from Amed town. Would have loved for other trekking groups to talk less, lol, but can't change that really.”

His secret passion is being an Instagram boyfriend and human drone, so go with him for great photos! Breakfast was good snacks for the top, and we boiled the eggs in the steam of the volcano so that was cool. The driver Ismail was good, had a nice car.”

“I enjoyed the hike through the jungle and the canoe ride was pleasant, eventhough we had to wait 15 min as there were other tourists waiting in line. The food was excellent and really tasty. IMO the waterfall was the best part and it finalized our tour. Be ready for a long walk up and down the stairs to the waterfall as it can be very tiring for some. Our driver and guide were both well informed on the culture and nature of Bali, which was very helpful and professional as they were able to answer all of our questions. Both of them were very nice and social as well.…”
